The government on Friday issued a stern notice to Elon Musk-led social media platform X to immediately remove all vulgar and unlawful content, especially generated by its AI app Grok, or face legal action. The action follows Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi’s letter to information technology minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in which she flagged how Grok was complying with user requests to digitally alter pictures of women and depict them as unclothed, partially clad or in a sexually compromised state. ADVERTISEMENTThe ministry of electronics and IT issued a notice to the chief compliance officer for India operations of X for failure to observe statutory due diligence obligations under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021. Sharing her letter to Vaishnaw on X, Chaturvedi had earlier in the day alleged that men were using fake profiles to post pictures of women and issuing prompts to Grok to “minimise their clothing and sexualise them”. She said the trend was also targeting women who post their own pictures, raising serious concerns about women’s safety and privacy.
